The Project continues to provide high quality analysis and stimulate debate on key issues of Indonesian economic policy and development

HIGHLIGHTS OF ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2005–2006

The Project continued to focus on its two core activities during 2005–2006: the annual Indonesia Update conference followed by the associated conference volume series and the Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies. It also sponsored a number of other public activities in Australia and Indonesia. These activities sought

to provide a deeper understanding of the economy, policy initiatives and research developments, and present analysis of potential and on-going policy reforms. The Project organised a regular seminar series, the Indonesia Study Group, and hosted a range of visitors from elsewhere in Australia, Indonesia and other countries. We have also sought to nurture a new generation of Indonesia post-graduate research students. Another goal is to inform Australian and Indonesian government, the private sector and the general public on important policy issues in Jakarta and the regions. • Update Conferences and Publications. Indonesia, Australia and the

Region and Democracy and the Promise of Good Governance were the themes of the 2005 and 2006 Indonesia Update conferences respectively. Papers in those topics were presented by Indonesian and other international speakers, as well as by Australians from a range of institutions, stimulating debate among the large audiences of over 350. The Update volumes, The Politics and Economics of Indonesia's Natural Resources edited by Budy P. Resosudarmo, and Different Societies, Shared Futures: Australia, Indonesia and the Region edited by John Monfries, were published in May 2005 and 2006 by the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS) in Singapore, in cooperation with the Indonesia Project. A series of book launchings were held in Jakarta and Singapore as well as in Canberra for the two books. Judging from the international sales, the books have been widely accepted by the Australian, Indonesian and international readership interested in Indonesian development.

• The Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies (BIES). The BIES has

sought to bring the results of analysis of economic developments and policy to the attention of Australian, Indonesian and wider international audiences. The economic policy challenges and performance of the Yudhoyono government were monitored closely in the regular Surveys of Recent Developments. Articles published in the BIES covered a wide range of topics including governance and corruption, regional development and finance, microeconomic policy and reform, foreign direct investment, and labour issues. Over 500 individuals and institutions subscribe to the journal, and almost 10,000 libraries have access to it.

• Other major public events. The Project invited Dr Mari Pangestu, the

Minister of Trade, in August 2006 and Dr Sri Mulyani, the Minister of

Finance, to address recent development of policies in their Ministries and more broadly in the area of economic policy and governance. These forums were also an opportunity to stimulate public debate on key policy issues. The Project collaborated with the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in the staging of major one-day seminars in Jakarta on the Update topics in 2005 and 2006, with Ministers Dr Sri Mulyani and Dr Hassan Wirayuda delivering keynote addresses. We also supported and participated in international workshops on recovery from the tsunami in Aceh, Sri Lanka and Thailand (held in Jakarta), on cross-border cooperation between Papua New Guinea and Papua (held in Daru and Merauke), and on rural urban migration in Indonesia (held in Canberra).

Indonesia Project staff were active in research on economic developments and policy, politics, political economy and governance in Indonesia and the wider East Asian region, and in supporting research work by postgraduate students. Project members wrote several books and numerous journal articles on Indonesia and East Asian topics in 2005–2006. Outreach activities sought to provide information and advice to government agencies and officials, business and the broader public. Staff took part in interviews and contributed articles in the Australian and Indonesian media on topical issues in Indonesia and in Australia–Indonesia relations. In 2006 in particular, efforts have involved a wider range of people and institutions in the planning and execution of Project activities. The first meeting of a newly formed Indonesia Project Advisory Board was held in October 2006, involving Board members from ANU and other universities, and from on and off campus. The Project also began to issue a regular newsletter in 2006. Visitors to Canberra and the ANU gave a range of seminars. The Project also

collaborated with other national and international institutions in holding events in other cities in Australia, and in Indonesia.

PROJECT GOALS

The main goals of the Project are pursued through four key sets of activities: (i) the publication of a high quality academic journal and other publications; (ii) an annual Indonesia Update and other conferences and seminars; (iii) teaching and support for Indonesian post-graduate students; and (iv) outreach activities in both Australia and Indonesia. Through our main activities the Project aims to:

• Undertake and support high quality research on the Indonesian economy, economic policy, political economy and governance. A major goal is to disseminate the findings of this work within the academic and policy community in Australia, Indonesia and internationally, and contribute to debates on Indonesian economic policy.

• Encourage research, public discussion and debate on important topical issues in Indonesian affairs more generally, both in Australia and internationally, especially in the areas of politics, economics and governance, regional developments, international and bilateral relations, and Islam and society.

• Contribute to stronger ties between Australia and Indonesia, particularly among economists and economic-linked institutions, and to assist Australian government and non-governmental bodies to deepen and broaden links with our largest neighbour.

PROJECT ADMINISTRATION, STAFFING AND ADVISORY BOARD

During 2006 we restructured the organisation of the Project to allow for more participation of younger academics and academics outside the economics discipline in Australia, in addition to several Indonesian academics and policy advisors.

• Three academics comprise the core administrative and operational staff: Dr Chris Manning (Head of the Project), Dr Ross McLeod (Editor of the Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies) and Dr Budy Resosudarmo who helps coordinate the research activities organised by the Project.

• Supporting academic staff directly engaged in planning and executing Project activities include Professor Hal Hill (HW Arndt Professor of Southeast Asian Economies), and as of 2006, two younger appointees to the Division of Economics, Dr Frank Jotzo and Dr Tao (Sherry) Kong. Two leading researchers in the Department of Political and Social Change, RSPAS, Dr Greg Fealy and Dr Ed Aspinall, are also directly engaged in supporting the core activities of the Project. They made valuable contributions in organising the Indonesia Study Group and supporting the Indonesia Update.

The quality of the BIES is heavily dependent on the meticulous work of Liz Drysdale as Associate Editor who puts in many hours to ensure that the BIES is of the highest editorial standards, and published on time. An Administrative Officer, Cathy Haberle and a part-time Librarian and Supporting Administrative Staff member, Trish van der Hoek, play the major roles in looking after day to day activities of the Project. Cathy took maternity leave from December 2005 to December 2006 and was very capably replaced by Karen Guest. Trish van der Hoek assisted in organising and preparing our Newsletter for publication in 2006. Both Cathy and Trish play valuable roles in supporting the activities of the Project.

Several other researchers at ANU were active in supporting Project activities, both from within the Division of Economics and the broader Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, and from elsewhere in the ANU. In the Division of Economics, Ross Garnaut, George Fane, Prema-chandra Athukorala, Peter Warr and Sherry Kong have been directly involved in a range of activities: research on Indonesia, supervision of Indonesian PhD candidates and support for various Project activities.

John Maxwell and PhD candidates Della Temenggung and Arief Yusuf provided support for the Indonesia Study Group activities. Jamie Mackie (Emeritus Professor) advised on many Project matters, spoke at the 2005 Indonesian Update and continued to organise an informal Indonesia Discussion Group involving ANU staff and other Indonesianists. Andrew MacIntyre, Director of the Crawford School of Economics and Government (CSEG) at the ANU, was co-convenor of the 2006 Indonesia Update and is an active member of both the Project Advisory Board and the BIES Editorial Board.

Academic Support from Outside the ANU Outside Canberra, Sisira Jayasuriya and Howard Dick from the University of Melbourne made valuable contributions to Project activities, especially through authorship of the Project Review (2006) and support for BIES, respectively. Michele Ford (Sydney University), Rod Maddock (Commonwealth Bank) and Tim Costello (World Vision) all contributed ideas towards Project activities through their role on the Advisory Board of the Project. We are also grateful for the support of other Advisory Board members, Martin Parkinson (Treasury, represented by David Pearl), and Catherine Boomer (World Vision, who attended meetings for Tim Costello) from outside the ANU.

In Indonesia, Thee Kian Wie, formally retired but still active in the Indonesian Institute of Sciences, continued to offer enormous support from Jakarta as a Research Associate attached to the Project. Dr Hadi Soesastro, from the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, has generously offered to host and organise the two all-day seminar–book launchings in Jakarta in 2005–06. Noke Kiroyan, as a contributor to the Update and an Advisory Board member, gave valuable support to our activities. The Project is also very grateful for the assistance of Mohmmad Chatib Basri in helping organise joint activities in both Indonesia and Australia. Chatib Basri also participated in several Project activities, including the 2006 Indonesia Update and as co-author of the ‘Survey of Recent Developments’ in the BIES in December 2006.

A new Project Advisory Board was formed in 2006 to help guide Project activities

The Board of the Indonesia Project

In July–August 2006 a new Advisory Board to the Project was constituted and the first meeting of the Board held in October 2006. Formation of the Advisory Board was one recommendation flowing from the Review of the Project in 2005–06. Through consultation with the Director of the School of Pacific and Asian Studies, ANU, the Head of

theDivision of Economics, RSPAS, ANU and AusAID, fourteen persons were appointed to the Advisory Board, divided into two groups: Ex-Officio Members and Members appointed for a two year term.

Board Members

Chairperson: Robin Jeffrey, Director, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies

Ex-Officio Members: Head of the Division of Economics, RSPAS, and Professor of Southeast Asian Economics (Hal Hill), Chairman of the Editorial Board, Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies (Ross Garnaut), Executive Director, Crawford School (Andrew MacIntyre), Representative of AusAID (Murray Proctor), Indonesia Research Staff, Department of Political and Social Change (Greg Fealy)

Other Australian Board Members: Lisa Cameron (University of Melbourne), Tim Costello (World Vision), Michele Ford (University of Melbourne), Rod Maddock (Commonwealth Bank) and Martin Parkinson (Treasury)

Indonesian Board Members: Mari Pangestu (Minister of Trade and Centre for Strategic and International Studies), Thee Kian Wie (Indonesian Institute of Sciences) and Noke Kiroyan (Indonesia Australia Business Council)

The first meeting of the Board in October 2006 was chaired by the Director of the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, Professor Robin Jeffrey. Members commented on reports from the Project Head and Editor of the Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies on recent and longer term developments. Discussion focused on the need to nurture new researchers and more formal linkages with a wider academic community in Australia and Indonesia, and to develop a broader approach in research and outreach, while preserving the quality of ‘core’ Project activities. We were particularly grateful to our non-ANU members for their contributions to the discussion: Murray Proctor (AusAID), David Pearl (Treasury), Rod Maddock (Commonwealth Bank), Noke Kiroyan (Newmont Mining), Catherine Boomer (World Vision) and Michele Ford (Sydney University).

MAJOR ACTIVITIES 2005–2006

The Bulletin of Indonesian Economic Studies (BIES) The journal aims to inform readers worldwide of developments in the Indonesian economy within the context of debates on economic development in the international literature. A principal goal is to make the BIES accessible to a broad readership interested in economic policy issues. The anticipated readership includes policy makers, officials and advisors in Indonesia and working for

international bodies, academics, postgraduate students and other informed observers of the Indonesian economy.

The BIES is published three times a year, in April, August and December. Each issue offers up-to-date analysis of developments in the Indonesian economy in the ‘Survey of Recent Developments’. In addition, the Bulletin contains three to five articles per issue on important policy issues, occasional shorter notes on topics of current interest, conference reports, book reviews and abstracts of recently completed PhD theses on the Indonesian economy. Except for the Survey (which is commissioned by the Editor), all papers undergo a rigorous international refereeing process.

In 2005, for the first time, we published the political and economic updates from the Update Conference series in the December issue of the BIES. In general, the BIES has sought to increase coverage of issues related to political economy and governance, as important areas of policy concern in Indonesia in recent times. Papers in these fields

include discussion of the organisation of pribumi entrepreneurs and the Indonesian deposit guarantee scheme, in addition to the political updates by R. William Liddle and Rodd McGibbon, in December 2005 and 2006 respectively (see Attachment B). Other areas of particular focus in 2005–06 have been regional development and finance, firm performance, microeconomic policy and reform, foreign direct investment, and labour issues. Comparative papers have dealt with Indonesia’s monetary and exchange rate policies and export performance in the context of experience elsewhere in Southeast and Northeast Asia.

In early 2006 BIES launched its site in the Manuscript Central online manuscript submission and peer review system developed in conjunction with the publisher, Taylor and Francis. The system allows authors to submit papers online and to check the status of their papers at any time; it also allows referees to access the papers and submit their reports online, and provides automated reminders to referees, authors and journal staff. It is expected that this initiative will increase the flow of submissions, speed up the refereeing process and release more staff time for editorial activities.

The Indonesia Update Conferences and Books

The Indonesia Update Conference is the most important public affairs activity undertaken by the Project. The conference has been organised jointly with the Department of Political and Social Change since 1983 and is the major annual conference on Indonesian developments anywhere in the world outside Indonesia. The 23rd and 24th Indonesia Update Conferences entitled Indonesia, Australia and the Region and Democracy and the Promise of Good Governance were held in September 2005 and 2006 respectively.

Based on the Update conferences, the Indonesia Update Series volumes The Politics and Economics of Indonesia's Natural Resources edited by Budy P. Resosudarmo, and Different Societies, Shared Futures: Australia, Indonesia and the Region edited by John Monfries, were published by ISEAS, Singapore, in May 2005 and 2006 respectively (Attachments C and D). The Politics and Economics of Indonesia's Natural Resources was launched at a series of gatherings in Jakarta, Singapore and Canberra in July–August 2005. Approximately 100 people attended the seminar and book launching in Jakarta, with Sri Mulyani (Chair of the National Development Planning Agency at the time) as the keynote speaker. Other speakers included Emil Salim (Indonesia’s former Minister of the Environment) and David Kaimowitz, Director General, Center for International Forestry Research. K. Kesavapany, Director of ISEAS, presided over the book launching in Singapore and Murray Proctor, Deputy Director General, AusAID, launched the book in Canberra.

The 2005 Update Conference and Publication

The 2005 Update Conference on the theme of Indonesia, Australia and the Region was organised by John Monfries and was attended by more than 400 participants over two days. Keynote speakers for the Update included Boediono (now Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs) and R. William Liddle, Professor of Politics at Ohio State University, who

gave the economic and political updates, respectively. While Boediono concentrated on longer lessons for economic policy and management in a democratic environment, William Liddle focused on the relatively successful first year of the ‘duumvirate’ of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Jusuf Kalla. The former Secretary to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and Ambassador to Indonesia, Richard Woolcott, gave a brief overview of challenges for the bilateral relationship. Subsequent lively presentations and discussion ensued on specific topics.

The Update book based on the conference entitled Different Societies, Shared Futures: Australia, Indonesia and the Region (editor John Monfries) was published in May 2006 and launched at three different events over June−July 2006. The main launching was held at a one-day seminar in Jakarta on July 4, with the opening address given by the Indonesian Foreign Minister, Hassan Wirayuda, with a response by the Australian Ambassador, William Farmer. The seminar

featured book contributors including the former Indonesian Ambassador to Australia,

Wiryono, and Indonesia Australia Business Council President, Noke Kiroyan, and was attended by approximately 150−200 people. Valuable contributions were made also by the Trade Minister, Mari Pangestu, former Foreign Minister Ali Alatas, Parliamentary member Muhammad Hikam, and senior Australian journalist Patrick Walters. Speakers focused on many themes discussed in the book — the unpredictability of the relationship and the often highly emotional nature of public reactions on both sides, as well as more positive aspects, such as constructive cooperation in disaster relief and rehabilitation, and in multilateral forums.

Miles Kupa, the Australian Ambassador to Singapore, presided over the book launching in Singapore, and a third launching was presided over by the Parliamentary Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Teresa Gambaro MP, on August 8, 2006 in Canberra.

The 2006 Update

The 24th Indonesia Update, held in 2006, was entitled

Democracy and the Promise of Good Governance and was held on September 22–23, attracting an audience of 350 participants. The conference was organised by Ross McLeod (Indonesia Project) and Andrew MacIntyre (Crawford School of Economics and Government, ANU).

Apart from the very popular economics and politics update sessions, there were excellent presentations on redesigning the political architecture through constitutional amendments and decentralisation; on rethinking the roles of government in relation to the economy, the private sector, natural resources and the environment and religion; and on bureaucratic and legal reform (Attachment E). Presenters from Indonesia were Chatib Basri, Arianto Patunru (economics update), Anies Baswedan, Smita Notosusanto, Ketut Irawan and Arskal Salim. Other visitors to the ANU who presented at the Update included Andrew Ellis, Staffan Synnerstrom, Natasha Hamilton-Hart, Simon Butt and Ron Duncan, while ANU contributors were Rodd McGibbon (politics update), Ross McLeod and Luca Tacconi. The edited volume based on the conference was published in early 2007.

The Project collaborated with the Lowy Institute in Sydney to present a ‘mini’ Update to a group of business people, journalists and Asian specialists on September 25, 2006. Rodd McGibbon and Chatib Basri presented updates on political and economic developments, with Anies Baswedan and Chris Manning participating as discussants. Robust discussion followed,

especially focusing on the role of Islam in Indonesian politics and the resilience of the Indonesian economic recovery.

The Indonesia Study Group, Public Lectures and Workshops

Regular seminars at the ANU, workshops and conferences play an important part in our efforts to disseminate information on developments in Indonesia. These forums seek to promote discussion and debate on a range of topics, including deliberations on policy issues in Indonesian development and related bilateral relations.

The Indonesia Study Group

Regular meetings were organised by the Indonesia Study Group (ISG) throughout 2005–2006, skilfully coordinated by John Maxwell to May 2005 and then Edward Aspinall through to December 2006. The two coordinators were supported by Greg Fealy, Arief Yusuf, Della Temenggung and Chris Manning as members of the committee. The Study Group, coordinated by the Project, invites policy makers, students, researchers and other

experts to talk on aspects of Indonesian politics, economics and society. Indonesia Study Group meetings, which began some 35 years ago, are among the best-attended seminars on campus. They regularly attract 20–50 participants, from the university, government departments and agencies, and the general public.

Altogether, 54 addresses were given over the two years 2005–06, including 28 in 2006. Speakers included visiting scholars and well-known public figures from Indonesia. A special effort was made in 2005–06 to augment the number of presentations by researchers from other universities in Australia. Over the two-year period, Indonesian speakers gave 13 presentations, 11 were given by other international visitors and eight by researchers from other universities in Australia.

As in previous years, both politics and economics dominated presentations given at the Indonesia Study Group (see Attachment F). Five of the seminars were devoted to discussions of economic developments and policy, and three to the impact of the disasters and recovery programs in Aceh and Yogyakarta. Several addresses dealt with Australia’s aid program to Indonesia, regional politics (including Aceh and Papua), Islam, political parties, governance, and labour issues.

Public Lectures

Two public lectures attended by several hundred people were organised in honour of the late Professor Heinz Arndt, the founder of the Indonesia Project. The lectures were organised by the Division of Economics, RSPAS, ANU. The third Arndt Lecture, entitled Asia in the Global Economy: Historical Dimensions, was presented by Professor Angus Maddison, a British economist and economic historian, and emeritus professor of economics at the University of Groningen, Netherlands, and was held on November 10, 2005. The fourth lecture in the series was delivered by Professor Jagdish Bhagwati, Senior Fellow in International Economics at the Council on Foreign Relations, on July 31, 2006, and was entitled The Trading System in Crisis: The Threat from Proliferating Preferences.

The Project also organised two major public addresses given by the Indonesian Ministers of Trade and Finance in Canberra in 2006. Both were attended by approximately 100–150 people and were chaired by the Vice Chancellor, Professor Ian Chubb. In August, the Minister of Trade, Dr Mari Pangestu, spoke on trade policy challenges, both bilateral and multilateral, in the general context of economic

developments in Indonesia in recent times. A smaller group of academics had more in-depth discussions on trade and other policy issues with the Minister following the talk.

On November 20, 2006, Indonesia’s Minister of Finance, Dr Sri Mulyani Indrawati, delivered a public lecture entitled Challenges of Economic Development and Globalisation in Indonesia in the 21st Century. The lecture, attended by university, government and business people, focused on the recent economic changes and macroeconomic management in Indonesia, in the light of longer term challenges of reform and governance in the changed political environment.

Seminars included several presentations on the Aceh and Yogyakarta disasters and recovery

Workshops

A workshop on Development and Environment in Eastern Indonesia: Papua, Maluku and East Nusa Tenggara was held at the ANU on April 8, 2006. Convened by Budy Resosudarmo and Frank Jotzo and attended by some 90 participants, the workshop covered developments and policies for balancing environmental concerns with economic development in the poor provinces in Eastern Indonesia. Workshop topics included forestry, fisheries,

biodiversity, mining and health, as well as local and trans-boundary issues. Papers were presented by Australian, Indonesian and other international researchers and policy makers. The workshop was supported financially by AusAID, the Multi-Donor Support Office for Eastern Indonesia (SofEI), and the ANU College of Business and Economics.

In February−March 2006, the Project helped organise a workshop on cross-border economic cooperation between PNG and Indonesian Papua in Daru, Papua New Guinea, and also assisted in the holding of meetings in Merauke in Papua. The activities were sponsored by the Papua New Guinea Sustainable Development Program and AusAID. They were attended by Budy Resosudarmo and Chris Manning on behalf of the Project, and underpinned the need for constructive action for economic development in a very poor region on Australia’s doorstep.

In December 2006, the project supported and Project staff participated in an international workshop on recovery from the tsunami in Aceh, Sri Lanka and Thailand, in cooperation with the Asian Development Bank Institute, the Indonesian Economics Association and the University of Indonesia. The workshop, entitled Two Years after the Tsunami: Redevelopment in Comparative Contexts, was held in Jakarta on Monday, December 18, featured Acehnese, national and international speakers, and was attended by approximately 100 participants.

Workshops were held on Eastern Indonesia, Papua–PNG relations, recovery from the tsunami and the challenge of urban rural migration

In November 2006, the Project organised a three-day workshop on the issues and methodology in the Indonesia segment of a China–Indonesia Comparative Rural–Urban Migration Project funded by the ARC and AusAID. This involves a five-year panel study of socio-economic mobility among urban migrant and non-migrant households. Chris Manning and Budy Resosudarmo are the coordinators of the

Indonesia research work, assisted by Tao (Sherry) Kong. Four Indonesian visitors attended and gave presentations at the workshop: Armida Alisjahbana (Padadjadjaran University), Asep Suryahadi (SMERU Research Institute, Jakarta), Salustra Widya (Bappenas) and Wynandin Imawan (Central Statistics Agency, Jakarta).

Other participants included Chikako Yamauchi (ANU) and Graeme Hugo (University of Adelaide) who spoke on general issues of migration in Indonesia, Ray Trewin (ACIAR) who discussed migration and agricultural productivity inter-linkages, Paul Frijters (Queensland University of Technology) and Jenny Williams (University of Melbourne). Several AusAID staff (Christine Groeger, Peter van Diermen and Theo Levantis) also participated in the workshop.

RESEARCH STUDENTS

In addition to research conducted by Project staff, graduate student research supervised by the staff made an important contribution to the research output of the Project. A record number of seven Indonesian students were directly enrolled in writing up PhD dissertations in the Division of Economics, RSPAS in 2005–06. Two completed their PhDs in 2006 and another was about to complete her thesis in early 2007. A

large number of Indonesian students were also enrolled in Masters and Diploma programs in the International and Development Economics (IDEC) program, and in related governance and environment courses at the Crawford School of Economics and Government.

Student dissertation research covered a number of key issues in Indonesian economic policy, including poverty measurement and regional poverty, regional development, environment and poverty, monetary policy, and technological transfer related to foreign direct investment (see Attachment G for a list of students and their thesis topics). The PhD students participate actively in debates on Indonesian economic policy issues in regular forums in Canberra. Almost all the students are funded by AusAID.

Based on past experience, high quality and policy relevant research in Australia conducted at PhD level can make a significant contribution to good policy formulation in Indonesia. This is especially the case given the high standard of students now seeking to study in Australia through to PhD level. Additional students enrolled or are expected to enrol in the Division of Economics, RSPAS, in 2006–07 and we anticipate similar synergies with the Indonesia Project in the future.

VISITORS

We are also aware of the importance of fostering informal and on-going contacts and cooperation with Indonesian institutions, as well as other centres that focus both on the study of the Indonesian economy and society and on broader developments in the East Asian region. The Project hosted 5 visitors in 2005 and then had a record total of 12 visitors in 2006 (Attachment H).

Besides the many visitors to the Project during the Indonesia Update conferences, the Project supported the visits of several leading Indonesian economists from Gadjah Mada University, the University of Indonesia (four visitors) and Padjadjaran University, the University of Airlangga and the Department of Forestry, Manokwari (Papua). John Monfries was a visitor to the Project for several months while editing the 2006 Update book, and Pierre van der Eng used the Division of Economics and the Economics Division and Indonesia Project as a base during his sabbatical leave in 2006. Several of the visitors (Ari Kuncoro, Kurnya Roesad, M. Chatib Basri and Arianto Patunru) spent 1−2 week periods in Canberra while writing up the ‘Survey of Recent Developments’.

In 2005, Kelly Bird from Jakarta wrote up some of his important work on labour policy and poverty, and Zahari Zen finished a paper with Colin Barlow on the oil palm industry. In 2006, two visitors Suahasil Nazara (University of Indonesia) and Catur Sugiyanto (Gadjah Mada University) were engaged in research on recovery and rehabilitation after the natural disasters in Aceh and Yogyakarta. Firman Witoelar (most recently a post doctoral fellow at Yale University), spent two months with the Project working on issues related to household economics. Tulus Tambunan (University of Trisakti, Jakarta) pursued on-going work on the implications for agriculture and rural poverty of (potential) completion of the Doha round. Firman also interacted closely with the team working on the China-Indonesia rural-urban migration research project, and shared with us some of his experience with the Indonesia Family Life Survey. We were also pleased to welcome Kacung Marijan (Univeristy of Airlangga) who visited the Project to complete work on decentralisation and policy towards small industries.

PRESENTATIONS AT RESEARCH AND POLICY FORUMS AND OUTREACH

Staff contributed presentations at various workshops, seminars and conferences in Indonesia on economic development and policy in 2005–06. These included presentations on:

• labour and technology issues delivered at World Bank workshops and conferences on the overall and rural investment climate, held in Jakarta in August and November 2005 and July 2006 (Hal Hill and Chris Manning)

• Indonesia’s economic transformation at the Indonesian Economics Association Convention in Manado in June 2006 (Hal Hill)

• natural resources and environmental issues at the Indonesian Regional Science Association (IRSA) International Conference in Malang, East Java in August 2006 (Budy Resosudarmo).

Internationally, presentations on longer term growth performance, governance and labour were made at the Philippines Economics Society in Manila and the East Asian

Economics Association Congress in Beijing (Hal Hill, 2006), at an international conference at Taiwan’s National Central University (Ross McLeod, 2006) and on labour policies in Southeast Asia at the annual Asian Development Bank meeting in Hyderbad (Chris Manning, 2006).

Back home, staff participated in other conferences held by universities, government and business groups, including the Indonesia ‘Festival’ in Melbourne in September, and the Australia Indonesia Business Council Biennial Conference in Adelaide (Chris Manning, 2006) and on illegal fishing in the Arafura Sea at Charles Sturt University in Darwin (Budy Resosudarmo, 2006).

The staff of the Project participated in a large number of outreach activities. A major activity is writing articles for the media, especially The Australian, the Jakarta Post and The Far Eastern Economic Review, to help inform the Australian and international public of events in Indonesia, and to contribute to policy debates on Indonesian economic development. Project staff also made themselves available for interviews with the electronic media, especially the ABC and SBS. In addition, staff networked with major Indonesian and Australian policy makers, attended discussions with AusAID, several Australian journalists, diplomats and development assistance consultants, and also undertook a number of consultancy Projects in Indonesia on labour and trade policy, and the national audit policy.

RESEARCH ACTIVITIES AND PUBLICATIONS

Project staff and researchers associated with the Indonesia Project continued to work on a wide range of research topics in the fields of economic development and policy and political economy. Major books by Indonesia Project Staff and Research Associates on Indonesia dealt with

politics, Islam, environment and natural resources, international economic relationships in the Asia Pacific region, and the drive for high-tech economies in East Asia. In addition, the seminal edited volume on development options for Timor Lorosa’e, originally published in 2001, was translated into Indonesian and published in 2006. The authors and titles of the main publications were as follows (see Attachment I for detailed references):

• Thee Kian Wie (ed.) Pelaku Berkisah: Ekonomi Indonesia, 1950-an sampai 1990-an, (Indonesian translation of the book Recollections: The Indonesian Economy 1950s–1990s), Freedom Institute and Penerbit Buku Kompas, Jakarta, 2005.

• Ed Aspinall, Opposing Suharto: Compromise, Resistance and Regime Change in Indonesia, Stanford University Press, Stanford, 2005.

• Budy P. Resosudarmo (ed.) The Politics and Economics of Indonesia’s Natural Resources, Institute for Southeast Asian Studies, Singapore, 2005.

• John McCarthy, The Fourth Circle: A Political Ecology of Sumatra's Rainforest Frontier, Stanford University Press, Stanford, 2006

• Greg Fealy and Virginia Hooker (eds), Voices of Islam in Southeast Asia: A Contemporary Sourcebook, Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, Singapore, 2006.

Several new books were published by Project staff

Indonesia Project

17

• Yun-Peng Chu and Hal Hill (eds) The East Asian High-Tech Drive, Edward Elgar, Cheltenham, 2006.

• Christopher Findlay and Hadi Soesastro (eds), Reshaping the Asia Pacific Economic Order, Pacific Trade and Development Series, 2006.

• Hal Hill and Joao Saldanha (eds) Membangun Negara Baru Timor Lorosa’e Translation of ‘East Timor: Development Challenges for the World’s Newest Nation,’ ISEAS, 2001, Aksara Karunia, Jakarta, 2006.

Research publications covered a range of fields, including politics and Islam, and on-going debates on the directions of Indonesia’s development in the first two years of the Yudhoyono–Kalla government. Topics included recent economic developments and policy in a more democratic environment; political economy issues and governance associated with reform efforts; trade and industrial development in an increasingly nationalist political setting; protecting the environment and natural resources, and dealing with natural disasters in a decentralised Indonesia; and overcoming poverty, and developing a labour policy conducive to employment growth (see Attachment I for details).

• Three major new books were published on politics, political economy and Islam. Ed Aspinall’s PhD dissertation on political opposition to Soeharto, and John McCarthy’s study of the political economy and ecology of forestry exploitation in Sumatra, were published in 2005 and 2006, respectively, both by Stanford University Press. Greg Fealy and Virginia Hooker’s important and comprehensive collection of Southeast Asian writings on Islamic ideas and ideology was published by the Centre of Southeast Asian Studies in Singapore in 2006. Ed Aspinall continued to work on other aspects of Indonesian politics, including Aceh and Papua, Greg Fealy on Islam and on terrorism, and John McCarthy on political aspects of environment and natural resources in Indonesia.

• Research work on economic development and policy, including macroeconomic stability and banking, was undertaken by Ross McLeod, who continued to contribute to debates on monetary policy. George Fane wrote a comparative survey of Indonesian monetary and exchange rate policy in the BIES. Ross McLeod, Chris Manning, Budy Resosudarmo and Chatib Basri all contributed to the Surveys of Recent Developments in the BIES, and Chatib Basri contributed an overview chapter on Indonesia to the Pacific Economic Outlook (2005). Ross McLeod also turned his attention to political economy issues in relation to financial sector reform, and in publications on the more general challenge of governance in the post-Soeharto era of democratic reform. Hal Hill (with Sam Hill) took up the issue of ‘growth economics in the tropics’ in an important new look at Southeast Asian development in broader perspective. Papers published by Ross Garnaut dealt with growth performance and macroeconomic stability in East Asia and the Pacific, while Warwick McKibbin examined the global macroeconomic consequences of demographic change.

• Trade and related industrial and agricultural policy in Indonesia have continued to be a focus of publications authored by several Project members, including Chatib Basri, Hal Hill (with Dionisius Narjoko), Kelly Bird and Thee Kian Wie. Subjects included the political economy of industrial


18

development, ‘picking winners’, technology transfer, competition law, the experience of key sectors such as garments, and an historical perspective on Indonesia’s industrial policy. Frank Jotzo also published joint work on trade reform in agriculture, and Pierre van der Eng looked at agricultural growth and labour absorption in historical perspective.

• Budy Resosudarmo (with A. Jusuf), Warwick McKibbin and Frank Jotzo published papers on various aspects of natural resource management and environmental economics in Indonesia and globally. In the Indonesian context, the focus was especially on the effectiveness of policies in forestry and the political economy of forest exploitation, in the context of decentralisation, and on recovery in Aceh in the aftermath of the tsunami. Warwick McKibbin addressed the global impacts of climate change and climate change policy through the application of a CGE model, including specific implications for Indonesia.

• Peter Warr published several papers on pro-poor growth, food policy and poverty in Southeast Asia. Chris Manning published papers on various aspects of labour policy in Indonesia (with Armida Alisjahbana), and the results of research on international labour migration of professionals in Southeast Asia (with Pradip Bhatnagar and Alexandra Sidorenko).
